A3. If you absolutely have to travel over the holidays (Ugh!), you might as well do it somewhere warm and wonderful like, well, most of the Southern Hemisphere. #TravelSkills #travel Photo: #SouthAfrica Tourism

replying to @united @united A3 I’ve spent Thanksgiving in Fiji and loved it. Would love to spend NYE in the S.H. but not Christmas, since I want to be with family and the cold in USA or #Canada. Would love to spend NYE in @Australia, South Africa, Tahiti, Fiji, the Cooks, Samoa… #TravelSkills

A3: I would be happy to spend some warm, sunny winter holidays in the Southern Hemisphere, as long as I had my family with me! But honestly, I hate flying over the holidays and avoid traveling then if at all possible. #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills #travelskills A3 I was very jealous reading those "December and officially summer in Australia" tweets but would be perfectly happy on the Canary Islands, too. #WhyAmINotinTenerife

I'd love to spend the holidays in southern hemisphere. But I'd have to have our kids with us. No fun going without them. We did Hawaii once for Christmas. Opened a present on the beach and dove into the ocean on Maui at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve! A3 #travelskills

A3. #Tasmania. While some parts of the Australia can be uncomfortably hot during that period, the island's temperature and the weather are moderated by the surrounding oceans. Perfect time for a hike. #TravelSkills
